A bear attacks workers and nearby residents at an industrial area in Fukushima, injuring four people, according to Japanese police and local authorities. Reports say the bear breaks into or opens a factory window before escaping and continuing to move through the area. Surveillance footage from a steel company in Fukushima shows the bear chasing an employee and throwing him to the ground, while additional people nearby are hurt. Media reports put the injuries at four people total, with the attack occurring in and around a steel works facility in the north-east of Japan on Tuesday, 2 June. Authorities say the bear has not been captured following the incident. The attacks come amid heightened concern about bear encounters in Japan, with one outlet noting that bears killed 13 people in Japan last year, based on authorities’ figures. Police and relevant agencies are continuing efforts to locate the animal and secure affected areas.
